nnovation and Caring combine to bring relief from stress and pain.       Starlight Children’s Foundation bases its support of children who are seriously ill on a variety of state of the art equipment, entertainment programs and services.        Starlight accomplishes this through six major components: Starlight Sites, Fun Centers, PC Pals, In Hospital Entertainment Parties, Wish-Granting and Kids Activity Network.        These programs provide a vital outlet for children suffering from pain and the depression created by stress and isolation. Hospital professionals who work directly with our children on a daily basis report that our distractive entertainment programs have actually reduced pain and the need for pain medication.        Our programs are focused in two precise areas. Our inpatient programs include Starlight Sites, Fun Centers, PC Pals, and Hospital Happenings and our outpatient programs include wish granting and Kids Activity Network.       A study of children who participate in a variety of Starlight programs indicates a decrease in drug demand during and after entertainment therapy. As a result, we continue to explore new treatment concepts and programs.
